The purpose of a bridge navigational watch alarm system (BNWAS) is to monitor bridge activity and detect operator disability which could lead to marine accidents. The system monitors the awareness of the Officer of the Watch (00W) and automatically alerts the Master or another qualified 00W if for any reason the 00W becomes incapable of performing the OOWâs duties. This purpose is achieved by a series of indications and alarms to alert first the 00W and, if he is not responding, then to alert the Master or another qualified 00W. Additionally, the BNWAS may provide the 00W with a means of calling for immediate assistance if required. The BNWAS should be operational whenever the shipâs heading or track control system is engaged, unless inhibited by the Master.

MT Princess Empress Sinking caused worst oil spill in Phillipines
One month after the Princess Empress sank, the spilt oil is still spreading, and authorities have warned that 40% of its cargo has yet to leak into the seas near Mindoro Island.
The tanker was hit by a storm, lost power, and sank on February 28th, carrying over 800,000 litres of industrial fuel oil. At a depth of nearly 400 metres, a Japanese remotely operated underwater vehicle discovered extensive structural damage.
Seven of the sunken shipâs eight cargo tanks have leaked, and four are already empty; however, 300,000 litres of oil remain. The oil has made it as far as Palawan Island, which is 350 kilometres from where the tanker sank.
Furthermore, some of it has drifted north to the Verde Island Passage, a region known for its abundant marine life located between Mindoro and Luzon. The two major slicks northwest and southeast of its location now cover an area of 162 square kilometres.
When it was discovered that the ship registered locally had been built in 2022 according to Equasisâ shipping database, questions about its history arose; however, it was pointed out that it was actually very old and had been modified twice.
Furthermore, it was reported that the vessel did not have a permit to operate before embarking on its last voyage because it had previously gone on nine voyages without the proper paperwork.

The vesselâs speed was slowed to between five and six knots to reduce the chances of shipping seas on deck.Due to the heavy weather restrictions, access to the main deck was not permitted except when specifically permitted by the Master. This restriction was even posted on the central notice board. Listen to this podcast till end to know the lessons and report for this case study.
